Gabriel Akon

(Find sources: Google (books · news · scholar · free images · WP refs) · FENS · JSTOR · TWL)

Rapper who has not released any albums. Has released on mix tape. Claims it debuted #1 on a chart, but unable to verify the claim. No reliable sources to be found. Says he goes by "B-Real", but there is already a rapper who goes by that, so searching is futile under that moniker. Bgwhite (talk) 19:19, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Weak keep. As suchh , he has worked with Rihanna . but still dont has enough notability . Lets see what are other's views ! Rahul Mothiya ^{(Talk2Me|Contribs)} 19:33, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
- He never did work with Rihanna. He only covered her song. Akon is doing Drake's vocal's with Rihanna in the background. It was never sanctioned by her. His mix-tape is mostly covers by Drake. Bgwhite (talk) 20:55, 1 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. No evidence he ever worked with Rihanna and even if he did notability is not inherited. Complete lack of independent reliable sources. Chart is just another random website chart, not a good chart. No notability here. duffbeerforme (talk) 10:03, 10 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Delete. Fails to meet our notability criteria, and as pointed out even if he did work with Rihanna that would not suffice in and of itself.--Epeefleche (talk) 05:27, 17 February 2012 (UTC)[reply]
